This week in maths we are working on addition/ adding. This is adding two amounts together to make a total. The children are use to add together in a practical way. We use a number of different model and methods but we always encourage adding with physical objects. This can be cubes, coins, pasta pieces, small toys, buttons, stones, sticks, pegs etc.
Monday
Practise adding objects togethor. We usually use cups and a plate to help. You may want to consider this appraoch or you can adapt.
red group add 1 more to numbers 1-4
yellow group add 1 more to number 1-10
orange and green group add 1 more to numbers 1-20
Tuesday - red group
Use the number cards 1-4. Can you say the number? Can you order the numbers? Can you match 1 sweet to the number 1? etc
Wednesday red group
Count objects and role play asking for one more.
This could be set up like a shop. Maybe use fruit etc.
"Can I have 2 bananas". Count the objects 1...2...
Now say, "Can I have 1 more".
"How many do I have now? Let's count together. 1...2...3..."
